Ive been using Carbonite for as long as i can remember, and ive always had a nice little vertical menu underneath the carbonite logo, it consisted of things such as the dungeon group icon from where i could leave a dungeon or teleport out, it had the Battleground icon, which also helped leave battlegrounds, there was a calendar, as well as other addon that corresponded with it and it was very nicely helping me organize it. However for quite a while now there has only been the logo, none of the useful icons that helped my everyday life. Please could you resolve this issue at the earliest convenience.

Open Carbonites options to the "Map Minimap" page. Put a check in the second option on the page: "Move Minimap buttons into Carbonite button window (reload required)". Allow Carbonite to reload the UI, and you should be good to go.

Might be a bit of a long shot, but do you keep the combined map on screen at all times? if not what happens if you click the "C" logo? I ask because if they just disappear, it sounds like to me that you have hidden the combined minimap. If clicking the "c" dont work, try to just press "m" twice and see if the buttons show back up

edit: a screen shot could help lots in terms of what your seeing and what we think your seeing

This is my screen at the moment, when i click the "C" logo the whole map dissapears like it should, it then reappears when re-clicked, for some reason under the "C" there still appears to be nothing... i'll try to uninstall the addon, then reinstall it, to see if that works.
